ALLERGIC TO THE GODDAMN WORLD
I'm in day 3 of allergy hell. Usually the rain is kind to me...but, I don't do well with overly damp environments.
We've had a leak, that was a recently fixed but is now broken again, at my job for a week now. The air in the early morning when I come in is overly damp and to be around stagnant water has made my allergies go crazy. I've worked everyday this week with no relief. Everyone else is cool...me? I'm quietly dying.
Then, yesterday I got my hair done by one of my customers. Awesome guy. My hair looks great. But....he failed to mention (and why should he? he didn't know I was allergic.) that the room he uses as his salon is also the room where his pet rabbit resides. By the 2nd hour I was wheezing...but what could I do?
Meh.
Today has been horrible. Everything itches, or is swollen. I can't breathe..I've been wheezing and coughing from my asthma. I essentially feel like shit. But, I've got a show to promote so I've been whoring myself senseless to anyone who even shows an interest in me possibly being a musician.
My customers are great. They've been talking amongst themselves about my show and now people who never knew I played are asking me for flyers. :)
Today was weird. I hate being put in the middle of stuff...and it happened today. I had a tough call to make...and who knows if I made the right one. I thought all morning and early afternoon about what to do and finally realized I had to tell the person what was going to happen. I'm being vague because..well..I honestly don't know. I hardly ever censor myself and yet lately I feel as if I have to. Maybe because this doesn't completely concern me so I feel I have to honor privacy. I forget that unlike myself, not everyone lives their lives like an open book...and the last thing I need to do is piss off the people I love..the people who confide in me...the people who mean the world to me.
That being said. This sucked. Because, the way I saw it, I didn't win no matter what I did. I think I made the right choice. I believe in honesty...and I believe in alerting my friends when something that's been a concern to them is about to happen.
Regardless...I was put in a position where no matter what I did, I'd probably end up pissing off my best friend.
fuck me.
Allergies can Suck It!
p.s. I have a show on monday night. Please come out and give me a hug.
